Liars flirt with 'traditional' but stay urgent and artsy on new LP

Over the course of its now 10-year existence, Liars has gone from off-the-cuff Art Rock punks to, well, slightly more evolved Art Rock punks. Formed in 2000 by lanky Aussie native Angus Andrew and fellow Los Angeles art-school veteran Aaron Hemphill — the only constants in the band's shifting lineups — the band has transitioned to more "traditional" songwriting on its latest album, 'Sisterworld.'
